this sounds so reminiscent of hurricane katrina which is a storm i cover. that same idea of people on top of their roofs waiting to be rescued. has anything like this ever happened in this region? >> we've had several floods over the years. the nor'easter of '92 which was pretty bad. but nothing that came through this fast. when that levee let go the water gushed through streets and parts of town that never got water before. so i'm really feel strong that -- and devastation, it is our town in real trouble right now. >> oh, my goodness. oh, well we'll certainly think of you. how many folks do you think have you pulled out and how many folks do you think you still need to rescue from these three towns? >> ma'am, i couldn't speak for others. here in little ferry we're just continuing. we have lists and lists of people who have to be removed from their homes and apartments. and again, we're doing the best we can. so far we know of no injuries. so that's one thing we can be thankful for. but as far as the other towns, i couldn't even tell you. >> well, thank goo
